Night Photography

During my Digital Photography 1 class, we went outside to experiment with night photography. This was the first time I took these kind of pictures and I was really excited to learn how to do it. We had a ton of fun with this.

Homework Assignment: Blue
For one of my photography classes, we were given a word, in this case blue, and had to take a picture that represented that word. Our professor told us to keep in mind the other meaning of blue, not just the color. 

Here is the picture I shot:

Beauty in Simplicity

Being a photographer really gives you a better appreciation for the world around you. One of my favorite things to photograph is nature. I love "seeing things" differently than other people. If we just stop and look around us, we would see that this world truly is beautiful. 

Time Management

Looking at my time management worksheet, I just thought "Wow."  I accomplished a lot this week. I made time for school, a job, homework, and time to hang out with family and friends.
The one thing I struggled with is getting enough sleep. Sometimes I would stay up late (later than I needed to) and get up early the next morning. My goal is to work on balancing all of these things, all while getting a good night's sleep. 

Depth of Field 

Some pictures that I took for a depth of field assignment for Digital Photography 1.
We had to take pictures using maximum depth of field and shallow depth of field. I preferred using shallow depth of field.

Autumn in the City

Last November when I took a trip into the city with my sisters. We spent the day in the city before going to a concert. It was a beautiful Autumn day.
At the time, I didn't have my SLR camera. I shot these with my Sony Cybershot.
